Chuncheon, the centre of the Gangwon region, is a calm university city known for its lakes, mountains and natural sights such as Nami Island. Famous for its dakgalbi and about an hour from Seoul by train, it is ideal for studying Korean close to nature.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Chuncheon:
Korean programs at other institutions in Chuncheon, such as Hallym University, are also among the options.
Language institutes in Korea run four terms a year, and you enrol term by term. A long-term student visa needs at least one term of enrolment, and most students stay 2-4 terms to make clear progress.
Language school fees in Chuncheon depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Applications to university language institutes close a few months before each term starts. You submit your diploma, transcript, bank statement and a copy of your passport, and accepted students receive an admission letter for their visa application.
Because the visa process, the admission letter and your documents all take time, apply at least 3-4 months before your target term. The spring and autumn terms are the most popular.
Turkish citizens can currently enter South Korea visa-free for short tourist visits, but check current requirements such as the electronic travel authorisation (K-ETA) before you travel. Long-term language study requires a D-4 language training visa, applied for at Korea's mission in Turkey with the school's certificate of admission.
Work during language study is limited and needs a permit, so plan your budget without relying on income from work. As your Korean improves, your chances of finding work in cafés, restaurants and tourism grow.
Most students in Chuncheon stay in campus dormitories, and one-room flats around the campus are also affordable.
Living costs in Chuncheon are much lower than in Korea's big cities, and campus dormitories and cheap restaurants ease the budget.
Buses serve Chuncheon, and the ITX-Cheongchun train and metro link make it easy to reach Seoul.
Chuncheon has a climate with continental influences: winters are colder than the Korean average, and summers hot and humid.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Seoul Incheon Airport (ICN) take about 10-11 hours; the train from Seoul to Chuncheon takes about 1-1.5 hours.
Chuncheon does not use daylight saving time, so it is 6 hours ahead of Turkey all year round. When it is 09:00 in Turkey, it is 15:00 in Chuncheon, so keep this in mind when planning online calls.
